Description

“I wish much that I could find for you an autograph of Theodore Roosevelt when he was Governor but I fear there are none”

TLS, one page, 7.5 x 9, State of New York letterhead, February 24, 1930. Letter to H. M. Brehm. In full: “I wish much that I could find for you an autograph of Theodore Roosevelt when he was Governor but I fear there are none here in Albany except those all affixed to official letters and documents. As you probably know, the personal correspondence of Governors is taken with them when they leave office. I am returning this extremely interesting cover. You must have a fine collection.” Roosevelt most probably references his knowledge and love of stamp collecting in his comment about an "extremely interesting cover. You must have a fine collection." Roosevelt had a large collection and was an avid and passionate stamp collector. In fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
